Getting Sick?

Yesterday: 

Physical therapy. My rotator cuff on the left is...not right. New exercises. 

We stopped and checked Rudy's mail. A bill and a flier from the local grocery store. We did not look to see if anything was happening with his old apartment.

I came home to two new books, bought used online,  Jennifer Weiner's Hungry Heart, and a book on stitchery from The School of Making.

I had a salad for lunch and made Dave a grilled cheese (on his Pullman loaf) to go with his salad. For dinner I made veggie burgers, mashed potatoes, and onion and mushroom gravy. Dave helped mash the potatoes and steamed some cauliflower to go with our dinner.

Today:

Last night my skin felt hypersensitive, like anything touching me felt like I was being scratched or burned. Today  I woke up with the lymph nodes under my right ear and in my right armpit swollen and painful. My Covid-19/RSV/Flu A and B tests are all negative. My right ear and eustachian tube on that side are painful. Maybe it's an ear infection developing?

I put a warm pack under my jaw and along my neck on that side and it felt a little better for awhile, but the pain came back later and has remained unchanged since.

I ended up sleeping away most of the day. 

Dinner will most likely be a pizza. Or some oatmeal. I don't care just as long as I don't have to cook.
